o Functions of the Skeleton
• Support
• Protection

• Movement
o Anatomy of a Long Bone
o Bone Growth and Repair
o Surface Features of Bones
o Skeleton: Overview
o Classification
• Long – longer than they are wide
• Short – cube shaped
• Flat – plate-like, with broad surfaces
• Irregular – varied shapes
• Round – circular in shape
o Skeleton: Overview
o Anatomy of a Long Bone
• Periosteum – tough, connective tissue covering
• Epiphysis – expanded portion at the ends of bones
• Diaphysis – portion between the epiphyses
• Medullary cavity – hollow portion of diaphysis containing yellow marrow
• Articular cartilage – layer of hyaline cartilage where bones join together
• Endosteum – lines the medullary cavity and the spaces of spongy bone
o Skeleton: Overview
• Compact Bone
 Lacunae – contain bone cells (osteocytes)
 Lamellae – concentric layers of matrix containing collagen fibers and mineral salts
 Blood vessels and nerves enter the central canal
• Spongy Bone
 Contains bony bars and plates called trabeculae
 Trabeculae follow lines of stress, giving bones strength
o Skeleton: Overview
o Bone Growth and Repair
• Osteoprogenitor cells – unspecialized cells
• Osteoblasts – bone forming cells
• Osteocytes – mature bone cells
• Osteoclasts – break down bone
o Skeleton: Overview
• Bone Development and Growth
 Ossification – formation of bone
 Intramembranous ossification

Form most bones of the human body
Hyaline cartilage models are replaced by bone
 Epiphyseal plate
 Band of cartilage in the epiphyses of long bones
 Long bone growth continues until plate is ossified
 Appositional growth – increase in bone diameter
Skeleton: Overview
• Remodeling of Bones
 Bone is continually being broken down and built up again
 Osteoclasts remove worn cells and deposit calcium in the blood
 Osteoblasts remove calcium from the blood and form new bone
 Three important hormones regulating bone growth
 Parathyroid hormone
 Calcitonin
 Growth hormone
Skeleton: Overview
• Bone Repair
 Required after it fractures (breaks)
 Steps involved in bone repair
 Hematoma
 Fibrocartilaginous callus
 Bony callus
 Remodelling
 Naming of fractures
 Complete – bone is broken through
 Incomplete – bone is not separated into two parts
 Simple – does not pierce the skin
 Compound – pierces the skin
 Impacted – broken ends are wedged into each other
 Spiral – ragged break due to twisting of bone
 Reduction – repair of a fracture
Closed reduction – re-aligning bone fragments without surgery
Open reduction – surgical repair of the bone using plates, screws, or pins

Effects of Aging
Cartilage and bone tend to deteriorate
Articular cartilage may not function properly, resulting in arthritis
• Osteoarthritis – deterioration of the articular cartilage
• Rheumatoid arthritis – synovial membrane becomes inflamed
• Gout – excessive buildup of uric acid
Osteoporosis is common
Homeostasis
Functions of the Skeletal System
• Protection of internal organs
• Bones assist in all phases of respiration
• Bones store and release calcium
• Bones assist the lymphatic system and immunity
• Bones assist digestion
• The skeleton is necessary to locomotion
Homeostasis
Functions of Other Systems
• The integumentary and the muscles assist in protecting internal organs
• The digestive system absorbs calcium from food and the endocrine system regulates the storage of
calcium in the bones
• Movement of the bones is only possible because of the contraction of skeletal muscle
